Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this blade compatible with the Felco 2?

No, the 7/3 F-Gold blade is specifically engineered for the Felco 7 and 8 models.

Does the gold coating wear off?

While the coating is highly durable, it will naturally undergo minor wear over time through friction, though the underlying hardened steel remains effective.

How often should I sharpen the blade?

Sharpen as needed based on usage; typically, a light touch-up every few days of heavy pruning is sufficient to maintain peak performance.

What tools are needed for installation?

You will need a screwdriver and a wrench that fits the Felco pivot bolt nut.

Can I use this blade for heavy-duty cutting?

Yes, it is designed for the same cutting capacity as the standard blades on the Felco 7 and 8, but with improved efficiency.

Troubleshooting

Secateurs feel tight or stiff after installation.

Loosen the adjustment nut slightly until the blade moves freely, then ensure it is snug enough to prevent side-to-side play.

Blade is not cutting cleanly at the tip.

Verify the blade is properly seated against the anvil and check if the pivot bolt requires tightening or if the anvil surface needs cleaning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces cutting friction
  • Easy to clean due to non-stick properties
  • Restores secateurs to factory-new performance
  • Highly durable gold-plated hardened steel construction
  • Genuine OEM part ensures perfect mechanical compatibility

Cons

  • Requires proper tools for installation
  • Higher initial cost than standard replacement blades
  • Must be sharpened carefully to maintain the special coating

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: This blade is exclusively designed for the Felco 7 and Felco 8 secateur models. Do not attempt to use this with other Felco models as the mounting hole alignment and blade geometry are specific to these two tools.

Installation: Ensure you have a standard screwdriver and the appropriate wrench for the pivot bolt. Remove the old blade, clean the underlying metal surfaces of the secateur body, and apply a drop of high-quality oil before securing the new 7/3 F-Gold blade.

Maintenance: To prolong the life of the gold plating, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. Wipe the blade with a damp cloth after each use. If sharpening becomes necessary, use a fine-grit diamond stone and follow the existing bevel angle to preserve the specialized finish.
